I don't see it as particularly American, though it may have a different meaning there."Up" is, however, quite clearly the correct word here.It follows "get stuck in". "Fuck them up" means injure, maim, hospitalise. "Fuck them off" means to remove someone from your life, like an unwanted girlfriend.The crowd are imploring the players adopt an aggressive tackling style, not a passive aggressive pattern of not returning their Whatsapps.It's "up", you maniacs.
If someone said: "She kept ringing me at all hours, so I fucked her off", you would understand that to mean that he had broken up with her.If someone said: "She kept ringing me at all hours, so I fucked her up", you would call the police.To fuck someone up is to commit bodily harm. That is the definition we need here.
